STEREO RIBBON MICROPHONE There is no easier way to track natural stereo than by using a stereo mic. From drum overheads to live concert recordings, the R88 is convenient to use and aesthetically pleasing. The natural soundstage and character of the R88?s Blumlein Stereo makes it a great main mic. An excellent orchestral and choral recording microphone, it shines on applications such as horn sections and drum overheads. The R88 accurately records complex tones such as woodwinds, strings and cymbals. The heart of the R88 are two matched native pressure-gradient ribbon transducers tuned to 16.5 Hz. They are 1.8 micron (7/100,000 inch) thin and match the air?s acoustical impedance within 1 dB. This is a Pure Ribbon? minimum path design. Only black technical-fabric and stainless steel separate the ribbons from the music. AEA Big Ribbons? deliver extended highs and fast transient response without the high-frequency, high-Q resonances characteristic of tightly stretched condenser. They are native figure-8s with exceptional imaging, transient response, and sense of space. The figure-8 pattern is highly useful for controlling bleed and room tone. Appreciated for What You Hear Is What you Get, Blumlein stereo is the most three dimensional coincident recording system. The ribbons are 90 degrees to each other for convenient Blumlein and Mid/Side (M/S) stereo. M/S is an excellent technique for solo instruments and situations needing post-production stereo width control. FEATURES - Polar patterns are consistent at all frequencies whereas directional condenser mics become omnidirectional at lower frequencies - Low frequency response extends down to 20 Hz whereas directional condenser capsules and shorter ribbons roll off and/or eliminate lower frequencies - Blumlein intensity stereo delivers a solid, stable and in-phase soundstage from their front and rear quadrants, with an excellent sense of depth - A properly positioned Blumlein pair also conveys a strong sense of spaciousness, reminiscent of spaced omnis, which we attribute to the left and right and left quadrants being out-of-phase
